Exceptional Firm Experience
I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate, empathetic, experienced, professional, subject matter expert than the folks employed at this firm! Not only did they take on my case late in the game, but they got up to speed and had future plans before our consultation and had answers to all of my questions during this same meeting. I will be recommending this firm to anyone and everyone that needs these types of services. Excellent experience! I’m incredibly thankful not only for this level of service but for how they helped me set up my future life!

Highly Recommend Mr. Buckmaster
My family and I cannot thank Mr. Buckmaster and his firm enough. We were involved in an accident. Everything happened very fast for us. The following day of the accident we met with Mr. Buckmaster and his staff. We had an appointment and were seen immediately. We got weekly updates every Friday from his paralegal Laney. Laney was professional, kind, and very helpful. It was a pleasure dealing with her. I am typically not the person to leave a review. However, maybe someone reading this will help them make a decision to choose Mr. Buckmaster. We would highly recommend Mr. Buckmaster and his firm. Thanks for everything you guys did to help our family. We will never forget it.

A Sense of Peace Came Upon Us
It was a scary day indeed when a relative of ours relayed to us the trouble he had gotten himself into. He had always been a good, caring soul who, it appeared, had been taken advantage of. A detective was now wanting to interview our relative, and we knew we needed some professional help and FAST. Through a friend, we found Attorney Buckmaster. The moment we met him, a sense of peace came upon us. He was such a good listener and laid out the good, the bad, and the ugly of how things could go. It was now a waiting game between Attorney Buckmaster and the Sheriff’s office. Within 8 days, the situation was resolved, and we all breathed a sigh of relief. We knew going in this would not be easy for Attorney Buckmaster, but we trusted him and knew he would do his very best. His staff, which included Laney, set our minds at ease with any questions we had, and she sent out her Friday summary as she said she always does for clients. We will forever be grateful to Attorney Buckmaster and his staff.

Everything was handled quickly
When I reached out to Mr. Buckmaster's firm, the way I was greeted, the involvement and care the firm took to my case was what set me to hire them. My case started around mid-March. Fast forward to today (24 April 2025), I am pleased to say: Everything was handled in such an expedited manner, that I had the idea this was going to be a long and tedious process of going back and forth with the DA and judge. When I got the phone call at 10 am on 23 April 2025, I genuinely was in shock at how quickly everything was absolved! Thank you so much to Mr. Buckmaster and the firm.

Highly Recommend Mr. Buckmaster
I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Buckmaster and his paralegal Laney. They were able to help me during one of my hardest moments, and I feel blessed to have found this law firm. I was able to meet with him the same day that I called, and they started working on my case immediately. While searching for other attorneys, Mr. Buckmaster’s approach was completely different than everyone else’s that I spoke to, and it was his confidence, reassurance, and experience as a prosecutor that sold me. After meeting with him in person, I felt like I was making the right choice by choosing him to represent me in my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Buckmaster and his legal team to anybody else searching for a strong attorney. I couldn’t have asked for a better resolution.
